Business Exchange Services

Integrate vendors and customers with Business Exchange Services

HP Business Exchange Services (BES) provides the mechanisms and the infrastructure to support key B2B activities. These include Order-to-Cash, Procure-to-Pay, Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) and Collaborative Planning and Forecasting (CPFR). These connections are vital to your business. Disconnections between you, vendors, or customers can literally shut down your operations.

HP BES connects your trading community efficiently. Trading partners are brought on fast. Our full management service is turn-key: We call partners, test, and integrate so all pathways are ready to work together. Usage-based fees make these solutions scalable as well as cost-effective.

Making data connections

EDI and B2B progress have often been messy and costly. Combined systems of different ages cause complex sub-optimal processes, inconsistent security and service levels, and the inability to manage exchanges as a global capability. There is limited visibility into business process performance. New processes and functionality are not easily supported; automated solutions are underutilized. Bringing new partners on is costly and takes too long. It doesn't have to be this way.

HP BES creates a single framework. It eliminates the mistakes inherent in dealing with multiple systems among various business partners. You manage the flow of information, payments and shared business processes for 100 percent of your global business partner community and supply chain—regardless of your industry and technical capabilities.
